Ok... as I'm apparently so new to the forum that they will not allow me to post actual links, you'll have to post the URLs into your browser's address bar, but...
I ran across CM11 for the i9192i (as apparently developed by Strony et. al.) on this Russian forum. (Perhaps we could offer to make a couple donations if they would be willing to iron out a dedicated i9195i port?).
CM11:
4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=667422&st=620
There is a kernel available here (which first led me to believe the kernel may be common or at least really similar between these two devices). I know it says serranove3gxx, but you'll see it says it's for our device (serranoveltexx) as well. I have not installed it to confirm, however. (Thanks should go to alexax66 for this one).
Kit Kat Custom Kernel:
github.com/alexax66/KK_kernel_serranove3g
Additionally... There are lots of good resources here on this forum under the following thread by Droidking18:
Custom Recoveries and multiple other resources:
forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-mini/general/index-galaxy-s4-mini-i9195i-t3283053
I can confirm that the CWM recovery at the thread address above (as flashed with Odin 3.10.7) does indeed work.
And lastly...
I haven't looked too far into this to see what it would necessitate (certainly the raw materials for building CM which as far as I know must be obtained from their github??), but there are some good guides out there on how to brew up your own CM for your S4 mini in Linux.
Protocol for making your own CM (I think I ran across some others as well):

I'm going to get some Mexican food. Will check back later. Good luck. :laugh:

Great, thanks. I was actually going to check it out and see if I can get it working on the i9195i. It shouldn't be too difficult since the phones are very similar. Is it true that the only differences are (1) dual sim on the i9192i, (2) 4g on the i9195i and (3) NFC on the i9195i? I'll try at least get the network working and get it to be usable. I can live without those other features for now. My internet has been down for a few days so I haven't had the chance to check it yet. Has anyone else started looking into it?
Hey guys I succesufully rooted my phone with kingo root and looks good.
Any updates on the Roms?

Rooting
My phone has the AOD1 firmware so as I read kingroot was working I tried it and it indeed finished successfully with the first try then I used SuperSU me to replace with SuperSU , updated SuperSU from the app store . Then I was asked for SuperSU binary upgrade thankfully normal way worked flawlessly . So now I'm sitting with a vannila working root no Knox tripped no problems , rooting apps work perfect and it didn't change the phones behaviour in any way so it's safe for this firmware . If I may ask if anyone has the AOB1 firmware can they confirm if it is working for them . The tutorial video can be found here check the description for the kingroot version apk if you want . Cheers
Edit: P.S. not my video credit to the guy who did it

no problem with kingroot 4.6.2 or higher. But the SuperSUMe only ver. 9.1.9 works fine in my device, higher ver not work
So you are saying root didn't work for it? I believe both the apps from the video I shared in the description are compatible with you . also another user reported that he had to change his phone firmware to root the phone
Frankly no I'm an RTFM kind of guy so I'm not so in the software part. Read about it couldn't make out exactly what it meant
Can you explain to me the benefit of deodex as I don't understand fully the dedicated forum post
I don't understand why the duos variant has no LTE, but the regular plus does. Don't they have the same quadcore processor?
Does anyone know why the CM11 port for the i9192i isn't working for the i9195i?.. I was playing around with the build prop yesterday but got nowhere

Possibly if you can download the appropriate .img file and use "Flashify "or "Rashr" to to flash the image to recovery.
or IMO, Flash TWRP 3.0.2-0 as your recovery through "TWRP manager".
